Today we started our day by a goat! We met our tour guide, Dave, who
taught us about the street art of London.
taught us about the street art of London.
He discussed how certain street artists will create small sculptures to put on near by poles
before placing their work to the public.
We noticed this wall had CMYK.
A tiny mirror tucked away on a wall.
After about 2 hours we stopped at a near by cafe to have some lunch.
Here is 2-D art and a 3-D trash sculpture. 10 Points if you can guess who it's of!
A pointillist graffiti piece. Look familiar? It's by the same artist who did the pointillist portrait of David Bowie.
This was a self-portrait of a frenchman who wanted to appear as if he was about to burst through the wall.
Here is our magnificient tourguide guiding us.
A collaboration of street artists.
Space Invader & Shepard Fairey
MG showing off how photogenic she is.
All you need is love.
We had a good chuckle at this one.
The club we visited was full of fun street art by various artists.
This piece is the only known work that Banksy actually allowed someone to work with him on.
The writing around it was done by a different street artist.
After our street art tour we took the tube to the V&A. This museum
held work from all different time periods. Here is an example
of some lovely design we saw along the way.
We got a little tired from all the exciting things happening around
us so we decided to stop for some tea and a snack at the V&A.
This beautiful glass-blown sculpture hung in the main entrance at the V&A.
Next stop: The Natural History Museum. This was right across the street from the V&A.
We saw some really fascinating exhibitions on Earth's natural disasters and climate change.
After that we were craving our favorite salad at a cafe called Pret A Manger.
It might've been the third time we've had it...
After that we crossed the street over to the Apollo Victoria Theater
to see the show Wicked! It was MaryGrace's first time seeing this
musical and it was absolutely wonderful.
We sat in the dress circle which over looked the magical set design.
For our cultural difference, we noticed that British museums have a menu
at your seat and you can order whatever you'd like and they bring it right to you!
We also discovered that if you sit past seat P, you can pay 1 pound and get a
pair of binoculars in order to see up close!
And with that, we're signing off. Cheerio!
